Concentration camp literature has had its unique position within the 20th century literature. After 1945, first works by surviving prisoners or eye-witnesses of the Nazi crimes are being published. The term “eye-witness,” however, is considered by some of the former prisoners to be misleading and inappropriate. When describing their memories they had to deal with many obstacles to be able to pass on comprehensible information about their stay to the readers. The comprehensibility of their message was hindered above all by the powerful and painful character of their experience and by limits of the common language expressive means. In concentration camps a specific language was formed, the lagersprache, which penetrates into these works also. In their descriptions the writers were often limited by social and personal conventions as well. The efforts to “express the inexpressible” impinged on disbelief and misunderstanding of both publishers and readers. Despite that, today’s reception of these works bears evidence to the contrary, and it can be stated that the former prisoners managed to pass on to the readers at least “part” of their experience.

Medievalists frequently approach Johannes Marignola’s Chronicle of Bohemia (Cronica Boemorum) from two distinct angles, as a travelogue and as a historiographical work, and tend to separate these two aspects.This study focuses on an analysis of the functions of the travelogue elements in the chronicle as a whole. Marignola associates the historical narrative of the first and second ages of the world with reflections on his own journey to the East. However, the stylized narrator is in evidence throughout the chronicle, both as a historian and as a witness. With the aid of Old Testament and Gospel quotations, Marignola witnesses the reality of an earthly paradise in the East and the miracle at the court of Charles IV, connecting the narrative of Czech and of world history.
